Whose Ethics Are Closest to Yours?

Those of you that know me will probably be unsurprised to learn that in my ethical stance I most resemble Immanuel Kant. Click on the title of this post to be taken to SelectSmart’s ethical counter.

1. 	Kant              (100%)
2. 	St. Augustine      (86%)
3. 	Spinoza            (82%)
4. 	Aquinas            (70%)
5. 	Jeremy Bentham     (70%)
6. 	Prescriptivism     (68%)
7. 	John Stuart Mill   (66%)
8. 	Ockham             (63%)
9. 	Ayn Rand           (62%)
10. 	Cynics             (56%)
11. 	Stoics             (53%)
12. 	Plato              (50%)
13. 	Jean-Paul Sartre   (48%)
14. 	Aristotle          (47%)
15. 	Nel Noddings       (37%)
16. 	Nietzsche          (37%)
17. 	David Hume         (35%)
18. 	Epicureans         (34%)
19. 	Thomas Hobbes      (27%)

This brings up an interesting question, I think. How much of what we do is consistent with the morality we (claim to) espouse?
